How to get a recording deal

TV programs like American Idol, Pop Idol and Fame Academy have all proved two things – there’s a lot of talent out there, and anyone is capable of making the big-time.

So, if you are as ambitious as you are talented (and why shouldn’t you be), then you won’t be satisfied with earning a few measley pennies singing around local venues for the rest of your life. No, what you really want is the ultimate prize in the music business – a recording deal with one of the major recording companies (and the fame and millions that comes with it)! So, how do you get started? Well here’s how…

The first thing you need to do is have recordings of yourself singing. I know this sounds obvious, but it’s a waste of time telling people how good you are – either they won’t believe you or they’ll just think you’re being egotistical.

So record yourself and let them HEAR you sing. My article on “CLICK HERE“>Recording an album on a tight budget” will help you make an album without incurring the large costs usually involved in using recording studios. Don’t forget that when you’ve made your recordings, always carry them around with you at all times (an iPod is ideal to do this) so you will be in a position to offer to let anyone hear you, at any time. This is very important because the music business has millions of hopefuls out there trying to do make the big-time just like you, (and the ones who make it through are simply the ones who are in the right place at the right time) so get the edge by always being prepared.

So, you’ve got your recordings in your pocket and you’re keeping a constant lookout for opportunities..what next?
